Create a passcode screen lock store app

I want to create a store app always kept on top, forbids users to close it or switch tasks until enter correct passcode. Is it possible
to achieve this? f.e. use SetWindowsHookEx like functions to set global keyboard hook to suppress task switch keys, any ideas?

I'd like to write a passcode screen lock
store app, and FYI, Windows
10 store apps do allow users to control its windowed mode size.

Creating a splash screen for your app.

Im trying to create a splash screen for my app but im not too sure how it's done.
Im using the following piece of code.
public static void main(String[] args)
          JPanel display = new JPanel();
          display.setPreferredSize(new Dimension( (300), (200) ));
          display.setBackground(Color.white);
               // I WILL PUT AN IMAGE ICON ON A JLABEL HERE
          display.setVisible(true);
               // I WILL NEED A DELAY HERE
          test.instance();
}The problem I am having is that the JPanel is not being displayed. I will also need a way to create a delay, I know that I can't just use Thread.sleep(5000); because the JPanel will require the thread to be running in order to display the panel.
Does anyone know how I could get my JPanel to display and somehow insert a delay before test.instance();?
Thanks.

I made my own a few days before for a database program. It can be easily done with Threads.
I recommend you create a new class to be used as the spalsh screen , it has to extends JFrame and implements Runnable.
I ll give you an example. I used the spash screen to display the screen and also to laod the main GUI form so that when the spash screen dispose, the main GUI form displays instantly, making the user think that the application loads faster.
public void run ()
        try
             this.setVisible(true);
             Thread.sleep(2000);
             // sets the menu visible before disposing
             guiMenu.setVisible(true);
             // disposes the object and returns the resources to the OS
             this.dispose();
        catch(InterruptedException exception)
            exception.printStackTrace();
// this method must be implement in the class
// that implements Runnable interface
//MAIN
public class Main
    public static void main(String[] args)
        Menu menu = new Menu();
        SplashScreen introScreen = new SplashScreen(menu);
        ExecutorService splashExecutor= Executors.newFixedThreadPool(1);
        splashExecutor.execute(introScreen);
}ExecutorService is a subinterface of Executor that declares methods for managing the threads. It also has the method execute (that provides the Executor interface) which when invoked calls the method public void run() of the argument class that must implement Runnable.
Executors.newFixedThreadPool(1); creates a poll consisting of a 1 thread which is been used by splashExecutor to execute the Runnable.
Hope i've been of some assistance!

Connect iPod to the computer you normally use it with (the first one that the iPod synced with) and open iTunes. Then disconnect the iPod from the computer and it should no longer be locked.
If not, you'll have to restore the iPod.

Trouble with amazon and screen locking the app with voiceover

Hey,
This is really bugging me, when I want to listen to a book in my amazon kindle app. I can't seem to screen lock my ipod touch, so that I can put it in a pocket or something instead of carrying it around, does anyone know how to screen lock or screen curtain the screen, so that it doesn't go weird. Thanks for your time.

Yes, I agree with this 100% - when listening, I can be doing other things, not looking at the screen. I figure 100% of the people using kindle portable devices are in agreement. My iPhone has a cover, but now I have bought yet a second case to put the first case in so that it covers the screen. But this is certainly not the optimum solution.

HT201412 iPad3 blocked and passcode screen locked after installing IOS6. Known issue?

Since I upgraded to IOS6, my iPad3 locks at least once a day, does not allow me to enter my passcode and needs to be restarted

First go to settins/general and make sure that passode lock is off.
Try holding the home and sleep/wake buttons at the same time until the apple logo appears on the screen, usually about 10-15 sec. This will reboot the ipad. If that doesn't work go to settings/general/reset/reset all settings
If none of the above work then maybe a restore is necessary:

Can you please mark my answers correct......if they were helpful to you.....
That would be so nice of you....:-)
and regarding your next requirement, You should create a new table which will contain Date, Worker Number and any other details that you want.
In the form, for every date for which you want to enter the data, you will select the max(date) before the current date and maximum worker number for that selected date and then from that number you can select next 15/20 workers or whatever your number is.
e.g. for the first time if you want to enter data for 01-jul-2010 and you have work for 15 workers, you will select max(date) where date<01-jul-2010, but you will not find any bcoz this is your first entry. So wat you will do is will start popupating your grid from number 1-15.
Next day you will select max(date) where date<02-jul-2010, you will find 01-jul-2010. Then you will select max(number) for 01-jul-2010, you will find 15. So populate your grid from number 16-30 (whatever your number is). and so on.
Hope it helps you...
Please mark my answer Helpful or correct and Please create a new thread for new question

Hi guys I need to restrict access to the settings with a passcode but also need passcode for the screen lock due to MS Exchange. Can these codes be different?

We are introducing iPhonse into the business but have a question regarding security. We need to restrict user access to the settings on the iphone probably via a passcode. We also need the user to have access to their emails (which when using exchange enforces a passcode). Is this the same passcode that is used for both by default? Because if it is then by allowing the user access to their emails they would by default have access to the code that allows them to change the settings of the iphone?
Does anyone have any knowledge of this or how I can achieve something similar.
Thanks
Paul

Hi,
Thanks for your reply
Could you by any chance provide a few simple steps on how to do this as i not too sure how you differentiate creating a passcode for restrictions and creating a passcode for lock screen?
Kind Regards,
Paul

How can i hide or lock the apps on ipad

How can i hide or lock the apps on ipad, i don't want anyone to see some apps when my ipad was used. Without Jailbreak.

It depends what you mean by 'lock' if you mean keep the iPad on a specific app that's easy to do as long as you are updated to iOS 6 which from your device information I can see your iPad is updated to iOS 6.0.2. All's you have to do is go to Settings > General > Accessability > Guided Access > ON > Set Passcode (Set a passcode to lock an app onto the screen). Go back to the home screen and click the app you would like to lock onto. Press the home button three times quickly. You can then highlight certain parts of the app you would not like them to be able to press, disable touching or motion if thats what you need. Press start. To exit the locked app triple press the home button again and type in the passcode you set earlier. Press end in the top left corner. I hope this helped you but if by 'lock' you meant don't allow on the app this is not possible as of yet with the iOS software although some apps do allow you to lock them with a passcode or you could try restrictions in the settings menu but this only works with built in apps such as; camera, facetime, safari, downloading apps, siri etc.

VS2013 - I cannot deploy and debug windows phone 8.1 store app to windows phone device

Hello, I create a project from C#-> Store Apps -> Windows Phone Apps, but I cannot deploy my apps to my blue device. There was a error message show "Element not found". I can run the app from Blend, and found Blend package the app to Appx
file. Is any method that we can deploy store app into windows phone blue device directly and how to debug it on VS 2013?

Hi,
Welcome to MSDN.
I am afraid that this is not the proper forum for this issue, since this forum is to discuss and ask questions about the Visual Studio Debugging tools, Visual Studio Profiler tools, and Visual Studio Ultimate IntelliTrace.
Since your issue needs professional windows phone knowledge, and there is dedicated forums for windows phone development issues
Windows Phone Development forums, you could choose one of its sub forums depends on your issue like Tools

Printing in Windows Store Apps

So,
I am changing this post because my problem is far more complicated (annoying) than originally expected. If I were creating a WinForms app I would have access to System.Drawing and the Win32 API, but as I am currently trying to create this as a Windows
Store app, it renders those possibilities moot.
The idea is to print a small 1x1 inch to a specific printer. Now, in the Runtime intrerop functionality I could search for the printer driver and just assign that value to the PrintDocument. Using a graphics I could just draw the in memory bitmap
to the document and send it away.
However, in this hyper security limited context of the metro interface "store app" I have found so far only Windows.Graphics.Printing and WIndows.UI.Xaml.Printing namespaces. Though they seem to allow for sending data to
a printer thus far I have not found any indication I determine
which printer.
The whole idea is a closed box system, so no extraneous dialogs or user interactions. They pick the image, set the quanity, and the golden hamster wheel spits out a printed label.
Now, I can do this very simply in a WinForms application, which I will be working on concurrently so I have a final product to deliver, but for myself (and the client) we would prefer a windows 8 metro style app to do this. (now if store apps just
access the entirety of .Net that would so much simpler, but wishes and horses).
So could anyone provide me a map for more advanced control of the Printing process from a Windows Store App that I might figure out how to send the print document to the printer I want?
Thanks
Jaeden "Sifo Dyas" al'Raec Ruiner

Excellent, thanks for the quick reply.
For clarification, you mentioned a few terms that i would like to clarify:
1. windows runtime component / desktop printing API
this sound like an actual windows 8 desktop application. Like what you'd run on windows 7 and windows 8 desktop. (Full .net 3.5/4/4.5 not the "Windows Store App"). Basically a Windows Forms application / class library / win service
maybe?
2. brokered
this term sounds like there is a way to communicate from a Windows Metro/Store (XAML) App to a windows desktop component (a process maybe?). If so, how does one do that. If I create a WinForms application and create a class library for it.
That class library can be used by any .net application that references it but in the Windows Store App project I can't reference a standard class library, but your use of the term "brokered" suggests there is a way to do this. Where would I
find how to do that?
3. desktop
Finally, by the mention of the term "desktop" red flags go up. I personally will never use Windows RT because it lacks the desktop. However, by the suggestions you've made here the only way to get my goal seems to be in using Windows
Desktop features. If I were to create the XAML App and the "brokered component" to thus have access to "desktop printing", is that something that will even work on a Windows RT machine?
Thanks so much,
J"SD"a'RR

TS3899 My iPhone & iPad mail is locked - Press mail app, the screen starts mail, freezes and bounces back to main menu. The fault occurred whilst opening a draft email created in the 'Mail 2 Group' app. Hard reset/reset all/restore backup have no effect -

I installed the Mail 2 Group App on my iPAD, created an email which I saved to the 'Draft' folder, with something over 300 of my contacts in the bcc. On returning to this email, again in my iPad, the screen locked in mail for a few seconds and bounced bak to the main menu. This repeated on my iPhone, on which I have been carrying out my own checks - this includes deleting the Yahoo account, hard reset (red cross and two buttons), restoring a backup and Reset All in settings.
I'm stuck !!

Sending a message with that many addressees may have required more RAM than was available. You can clean up RAM as follows:
Double-press the HOME button
Kill each app by flicking its screen image up
When all apps except the Home screen are closed press HOME
Wait about 2 minutes for the shutdowns to finish
Turn the phone off (hold the SLEEP button until "slide to power off" appears, and do so)
Wait another minute
Turn the phone back on by holding the SLEEP button until an Apple logo appears
Now try to send the mail again. Note that you may have an unrelated problem if this works: Many ISPs (Yahoo included) limit the number of email recipients for a single message as a way to combat spam.

[Forum FAQ] Go to Start Screen/Desktop when closing Windows Store App

After install Windows 8.1 Update 1, you will notice these things set by default even on touchscreen laptops and desktops:
Windows 8.1 now boots directly to the desktop.
Closing Windows Store Apps and go to desktop instead of Start Screen.
Besides option “When I sign in or close all apps on a screen, go to the desktop instead of Start” since Windows 8, another new option in Taskbar Properties “Show Windows Store app on taskbar” is used to control closing app behavior.
Features of "Show Windows Store app on taskbar"
When the setting is checked, all of the Windows Store apps that are currently running will display on taskbar. You can easily switch between Windows Store apps and your desktop and its applications through the taskbar. For mouse users,
you can also access the taskbar within a Windows Store app. Just move the mouse cursor to the button of the screen, the taskbar pops up.
When the setting is unchecked,
Windows Store apps have no minimize button, only Close button
Windows Store apps that are open are not visible on Taskbar
Windows Store apps can still be pinned to the taskbar
How do these two options work for closing app behavior?
Modern app and Taskbar setting
OFF
ON
Boot to desktop setting
OFF
Close goes to Start
Close reveals the app that was previously used, and eventually dead ends at the Desktop
ON
Close goes to desktop
Close reveals the app that was previously used, and eventually dead ends at the Desktop
Know why “When I sign in or close all apps on a screen, go to the desktop instead of Start” does not work when “Show Windows Store app on taskbar” is checked on
As MironV mentioned in the
thread, Windows 8.1 Update is designed to introduce a number of changes for mouse and keyboard users that would help them use and switch between Windows Store apps alongside their familiar desktop applications. A lot of these changes only made sense when
combined together, so they are toggled by one setting, which is “Show Windows Store apps on the taskbar.” This is usually enabled together with the first setting as a complimentary set of improvements for desktop users. When the setting is enabled, Windows
Store apps are intended to feel more like regular maximized applications living on the desktop, though they are full screen only. For example, when you launch apps from Start, they appear on the taskbar until they are closed. You can also minimize them or
switch between them by invoking the taskbar.
Please understand that unchecking the “When I sign in or close all apps on a screen, go to the desktop instead of Start" setting has no effect on close and minimize behavior when the “Show Windows Store apps on the taskbar” setting is checked, since
they are controlling two independent things. If you tend to use only one Windows Store app at a given time, it may seem like we’re not respecting the setting by going to the desktop.
Please click to vote if the post helps you. This can be beneficial to other community members reading the thread.

I don't know if I'm the only one, but on my desktop (using mouse and keyboard only) I like to have my Start screen as my main screen. To ensure this I made sure to uncheck the "When I sign in or close all apps on a screen, go to the desktop" box and
check the "Show Start on the display I'm using when I press the Windows Logo key" box. I also really like having the task bar appear at the bottom even when I'm using a modern app. Based on the settings I've chosen (i.e., boxes I've checked or not checked),
I would expect to be taken back to the start screen and not the desktop whenever I close an app. From what I've read from your response and from others in this thread, in order to accomplish this function (i.e., closing an app and going directly to the
start screen) I need to uncheck the "Show Windows Store apps on the taskbar" setting. By doing this I get the functionality I was looking for when the apps are closed and I get sent to the start screen. However, I am now not able to see the taskbar
when I'm in a modern app or when I'm on the start screen. This seems counterintuitive/confusing as many have mentioned. Not to mention it creates an additional step for users to get back to the Start screen.
All I want to do is (1) use my start screen as my main screen, (2) see the taskbar when running whatever app I'm using (e.g., modern), and (3) go back to my start screen (and not the desktop) when I close an app. It would only make sense that I should
get these results if I leave the "Show Windows Store apps on the taskbar" box checked and the "When I sign in or close all apps on a screen, go to the desktop instead of Start" box unchecked; but unfortunately this is NOT the case. I really hope that
an update fixing this is coming sooner rather than later because this is really annoying.

HT1725 App download interrupted by screen lock?

is there a way to download and app without the screen locking and interrupting it except turning off the screen lock?

Does the Store > Check For Available Downloads menu option find it ? If not then depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries), see if you can redownload it via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your Mac's iTunes (if you have the incomplete track listed in your library then you will need to delete that first, otherwise you won't get the cloud symbol in Purchased for redownloading).
If you aren't in a country where you can re-download music then try the 'report a problem' page to contact iTunes Support : http://reportaproblem.apple.com
If the 'report a problem' link doesn't work then you can try contacting iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

Running an Alarm app (now removed) when I noticed my phone alternating between a blank screen & my passcode screen. Powering off and the hard shutdown did not resolve problem. Plugged in headset, phone works normal. Remove headset problem returns.

iPhone 4 - - I was trying out the Alarm 4 free app. I set the alarm for 2 minutes into the future for a test. After one minute my phone naturally went to auto-lock and into sleep mode. At approximately the time the alarm should have activated I noticed my iPhone 4 alternating between a blank screen with the apple logo to the passcode screen. The passcode screen is only visible for a short moment so I am unable to attempt to input my passcode.
I tride a normal shutdown and the "hard" shutdown. The shutdowns work OK but when the phone comes back up it returns to the blank screen with apple logo & passcode screen loop.
The interesting part - - I plugged in a headset and the phone works normal! Unplug the headset and the phone returns to the "loop".
BTW - yes I did remove the Alarm 4 application!
I also turned off the auto-lock feature. With the auto-lock off the phone loops between the blank w/apple logo screen and my home/slide-to-unlock page.
So - - - as long as I leave the headset plugged in the phone works normal. If I remove the headset my phone reverts back to the "loop".
Any ideas?

As a matter of fact I DID get my phone to work. "Google" the term "recovery mode for iphones".
You'll find lots of hits.
Here is an example -
http://www.tipb.com/2009/01/29/iphone-101-put-iphone-recovery-mode/
There are a few different explanations throughout the Google-world. Some are better explained than others.
Bottomline - it worked!!!!
Be advised the Recovery Mode is truly a last ditch effort. In essence you will completely wipe your phone of everything and "recover" it to straight-out-of-the-box. Be warned!
Good luck!
